No team has forced Coach Ulen to play all of his cards yet. The Tigers were dealt a cruel blow when academic deficiencies cost them the services of sprinter Jim Green and outstanding Sophomore backstroker Mark Follansbee for the balance of the year; and the close squeeze they experienced against Dartmouth demonstrated that troubled waters would be waiting for them in Cambridge...
...Night Music" is flecked with incoherence. At many points the story swerves from its destination. Although adding to the play's richness, its many tangents cloud the final effect.

Dr. Bethe finds that the transmitter of this force is none other than the mesotron, which seems not to be a permanent part of the nucleus but to appear and disappear as needed. In other words, when a nuclear proton wants to transfer a package of energy to another proton or to a neutron, it calls into existence a mesotron, which does the job and then...
